The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe installment, Eternals, is now in theaters but soon fans will have the opportunity to take an insider’s look at the epic new film. Five original costumes from the Marvel Studios film, as well as new behind-the-scenes details of how new technologies are enhancing the ability of cinema to illustrate new futures, will debut on November 20th as part of the new Smithsonian FUTURES exhibition at the museum’s historic Arts and Industries Building (AIB). “Since comics first came to prominence in the U.S. in the 1930s, they’ve flourished as an exciting new form of storytelling featuring entire universes with their own languages, cultures, people, heroines, and places,” Ashley Molese, curator at AIB said in a statement. “Leaping from comic page to the screen, Marvel has helped create a whole new experience of world-building and future casting. Eternals takes some radical approaches to filmmaking by playing with scale and visual effects in ways never seen before in the MCU, time-traveling through humanity’s earliest civilizations to beyond the cosmos.”
